Abstract
Radiothulium is potential candidate in the field of nuclear medicine. In vi ew of this, carrier-free Tm-163,Tm-165 isotopes have been produced by the a ctivation of natural Eu2O3 with 80 MeV O-16 beam. Radiochemical separation of produced thulium isotopes from the bulk target matrix of europium oxide has effectively been carried out by liquid-liquid extraction using HDEHP as liquid cation exchanger.
